If stdout is redirected on Windows, the dimensions of the terminal won't be correctly retrieved. Open the console instead, using the special filename
CONOUT$
, and ask the dimensions of this handle. Keep a fallback to stdout if the console can't be opened, because you can never be too cautious with this OS.(this is akin to opening
/dev/tty
on Unix).https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/console/console-handles
